Though the Pages May Tear

Though the pages may tear Though the candle might flicker Though my body is weary I will tell of my life in joy and fear Of this I can piccture Of names which ring a bell Though the pages may tear

Throughout the black night Throughout the wailing wind Throughout the cold hut My trustworthy pen will write And it's loyalty will not bend My pen will climb over every rut Though the pages may tear

Like a melodious song Like a hummingbird's wings Like a flooding river I cannot stop for long My words are going to sing They will sing forever Though the pages may tear

A round moon gazes indifferently A small cricket gently chirps A firefly zigzags over to me Its light shining brightly It illuminates my finished script I am content my hands are free Though the pages may tear

Though the pages may tear Though the candle might flicker Though the body is weary It is best for people to hear For them to see your picture For you to tell your story Even though the pages may tear.
